Help Cllr. Linda de Courcy get elected to Dáil Éireann

Hi everyone,

First of all, thank you to everyone who donated to help me get elected to South Dublin County Council in June. We raised around €1,600 and got about 10,000 flyers into homes in Clondalkin, Rathcoole, Saggart, Newcastle and Brittas.

As you know my main focus was on immigration, particularly the numerous IPAS centres in the area. I believe what I was saying resonated with a lot of people who are, like me, fed up with being called names when we have genuine concerns about the demographic change in our community, and indeed country.

I have worked hard since getting elected, learning as I go and enjoying the challenge. Many of you will have received my first newsletter where I highlighted some of the one sided "facts" in the South Dublin Fact or Fiction migrant flyer.

I have also raised concerns at council level about the focus on ways to get locals to cut their carbon emissions while we have 40 carbon intense data centres within South Dublin.

Going forward, I believe we need a common sense voice in the Dáil who will stand up for the people of Dublin Mid-West. If elected I will continue to raise the serious issue of uncontrolled immigration, both legal and illegal.

As a party, Independent Ireland have some strong policies on immigration including requiring all potential IPAS centres to be subject to the same planning laws as the rest of us. We will also refuse entry to anyone without a passport, and deport anyone with a criminal conviction. Asylum seekers will no longer get medical cards and those from safe countries will be processed within 30 days (the vast majority of these will not qualify for asylum).

We will actively work to bring our own people home by offering tax incentives and work to enable young Irish people to stay here.

We will freeze carbon taxes and help to reduce the overall cost of living crippling so many individuals, families and small businesses.

If you would rather a TD who focuses on National Obligations instead of International ones then I would ask you to consider making a donation to my campaign and voting for me on polling day (If elected or if I get 25% of the quota I will receive up to €8,700 back, any monies I get back will be donated to charity).

Gach beannacht,

Cllr. Linda de Courcy
